Farwell Service for Newton Mearns Synagogue

Lodged by Jackson Carlaw Standard Motion 32 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges that a farewell service for the Newton Mearns Synagogue in Eastwood is to take place on 22 January 2023; notes that services will no longer take place at the Synagogue after a merger took place between the Newton Mearns and Giffnock Synagogues last year to form a single community; understands that the merger has established the Giffnock Newton Mearns Synagogue (GNMS) and that it will be based at the Giffnock site on Fenwick Road; further understands that the farewell service marks the end of an era for members of the local Jewish community in Eastwood and the start of an exciting new chapter with the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis set to attend the event; acknowledges that the Newton Mearns Synagogue has been a fixture in the local area for decades, and wishes the recently established Giffnock Newton Mearns Synagogue every success for the future.
